Wow!
Great article and respect to Mr Casson - sounds like a top guy and a true football supporter.
Didn't realise they trained at Hopwood Hall and whatever happens tomorrow, I wish Barrow AFC all the very best. |  |

I'll second that
Whatever the outcome, I'll be keeping an eye on Barrow's results and hoping they make it back to the football league |  |

What a wonderful genuine man the Barrow chairman appears to be. Someone who actually loves football, not embroiled in the disgusting greed and the don't give a toss attitude of the so called elite.
Even my mate, who is a Man City fan, has expressed his disgust at the BBC for televising the West Ham game, which doesn't mean a thing to most City fans. City will probably be playing a weakened side anyway. Wonderful. Everybody I know have said they would have preferred to watch Barrow v Dale. A chance for the underdogs to earn a bit of cash? A possible cup upset? Who are these people who decide which FA cup
matches to televise? Stuff you the BBC. And Sky. And all the sports providers. [Post edited 6 Jan 2017 18:59]

Great article. Wish them well after 5pm tomorrow and hope they gain promotion. He sounds like a real football man.
Both clubs have really embraced tomorrow's game, should be a superb occasion. | | | |

Is that Dave Storf on the front row (RHS as you look at it) in that 1968 team photo? (Former Dale Left Winger for the benefit of youngsters). |  | | |

I really should've posted on here before now, being a lifelong dale fan who's lived in Barrow now for 6 years (married a Barrow girl)
Casson's comments don't surprise me - he's got the club in his heart and he's a realistic, likeable chap. Barrow are playing some very good stuff this season, much better than the sort of hoofball Bayliss had them playing. Don't get me wrong, they are still a very physical side and like to play it long, but at this level its as much about the fight as the flair and they've managed to balance the two this season.
What Cox has managed to do is assemble a squad not just made up from journeymen and carlisle/preston cast-offs, as has been the norm for years. Its rare to get any player not based in the area to the club, but Byron Harrison (top scorer and biggest threat to us tomorrow) has pretty much spent his entire career at clubs in the south east. Similar to our own squad, there's a sense that the players want to play for Cox even if it means uprooting.
I can confirm is cold here tonight but not freezing and should be OK. I live a 5min walk from the ground and will be there tomorrow. For those arriving by train, the Duke of Edinburgh is a great pub just over the road from the station and you'll find some decent ales on tap including the awesome Lancaster Brewery ales.

“To my chagrin, there are buses that leave this town for Old Trafford or The Emirates and all those places every weekend."
Did he really say this? Hard to imagine a nest of Barrow-based Arsenal fans catching a bus to see the Gunners every weekend. Nor do I follow how he is "Dallas based" and running the club office with his wife and son.
But otherwise can't disagree with most of his views. I'd also be interested how a 63-year old manages to look about 40. [Post edited 7 Jan 2017 0:15]

Would suggest you are right,certainly looks like him to me.
Think they paid us £7000 for him,not perhaps Scott Hogan figures but still a lot of money in those days. | | | |

Met Casson last season he is how he comes across a football man and he bleeds the club and the town, think his main incentive to buying the club was a tribute to his father.
One day we may me rubbing shoulders in the same league., | | | |

It'd be good if Barrow could regain 'league status', and after today I hope the team bounces back. But the National League is a tough one, with, as you'll know, several clubs fairly recently in L2. | | | |

My nephew lives in Barrow and regularly travels from there with many others on a supporters coach to Anfield. They have a pickup in Preston and it's always full. |  |

For a lark, they should hop onto a nuclear sub and surface in front of the Liver Building, just to scare the shit out of the natives! | |
